Abstract:
A character input system and method is provided that enables a user to input and edit block characters via a touch-based electronic device, with a limited number of input motions. The character input method includes receiving a first interaction, displaying a first character in response to the first interaction, receiving a second interaction successively after the first interaction, identifying a second character that is formed by combining the first character with a character according to the second interaction, and displaying the second character instead of the first character.
Abstract:
A text input method in a portable device and a portable device supporting the same are provided. The portable device includes, a touch screen including a display unit for displaying a text input area and a text display area including at least one consonant and vowel, and a touch panel provided at an upper side of the display unit for generating a touch event, and a control unit for controlling text displayed according to a touch event generated from the touch screen, in which the control unit detects multi-touch events for at least two key icons output on the text input area, and controls the display of a specific text composed of a combination of the multi-touched key icons based on the detected multi-touch events.
Abstract:
An information storage medium having recorded thereon audio/video (AV) data including meta data with representative title information, and a method and apparatus for reproducing the AV data from the information storage medium, wherein the information storage medium having recorded thereon AV data including meta data includes storage medium information about the AV data recorded on the information storage medium and title information about at least one title constituting the AV data. The title information includes representative title information that designates at least one of the titles as a representative title.
Abstract:
An image processing method, including extracting compensation information comprising one from among a depth compensation value and a depth value compensated for by using the depth compensation value; when the compensation information comprises the depth compensation value, compensating for a depth value to be applied to a pixel of a two-dimensional (2D) image by using the depth compensation value, and generating a depth map about the 2D image by using the compensated depth value, and when the compensation information comprises the compensated depth value, generating the depth map about the 2D image by using the compensated depth value; obtaining positions in a left-eye image and a right-eye image by using the depth map, wherein the pixel of the 2D image is mapped to the positions; and generating the left-eye image and the right-eye image comprising the positions to which the pixel is mapped.
Abstract:
A storage medium including meta data for providing an enhanced search function on AV data supporting multi-angle, and a reproducing apparatus and method for reproducing AV data from the storage medium are provided. The storage medium comprises moving picture data for supporting multi-angle; and meta data for providing an enhanced search function on the moving picture data, wherein the meta data is defined according to scene, and comprises information regarding at least one search keyword to be applied to a corresponding scene and information regarding an angle supported by the corresponding scene. Such meta data further includes information regarding a start location and a reproduction duration time of the corresponding scene. As a result, an enhanced search function can be realized according to scene, character, actor, or search criterion which a producer arbitrary defines, with respect to moving picture data supporting multi-angle.
Abstract:
A reproducing method of reproducing from a storage medium video data and graphics data for displaying a menu screen is provided. The reproducing method includes decoding graphics data, outputting the decoded graphics data when an activation command is generated by a user and the decoded graphics data is first graphics data, and outputting the decoded graphics data at a designated time when the decoded graphics data is second graphics data. The outputting of the first graphics data ends when an output finish time is reached and the first graphics data is deleted from a buffer of a decoder that performed the decoding of the graphics data. When the outputting of the first graphics data ends, an activation command generated by the user is ignored.

Abstract:
An information storage medium for storing multi angle data, and a recording method and a reproducing apparatus thereof. The information storage medium stores data for a plurality of angles of a scene in interleaved blocks. Sizes of the interleaved blocks are integral multiples of sizes of integral numbered aligned units that include packets. Angle change points are included in each of the interleaved blocks which allows a reproducing apparatus to seamlessly jump from one angle to another angle during reproduction of the multi angle data. A number of the angle points recorded on the information storage medium is computed so that a jumping distance required by the data during reproduction does not exceed a maximum jumping distance of a reproducing apparatus.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for processing a graphic stream. The method may include determining whether a graphic picture is reproducible as a three-dimensional (3D) image by assigning different depth values according to graphic objects or by assigning the same depth value to the graphic picture, using 3D capability information.
Abstract:
An information storage medium which stores data structures supporting multi-angles includes clip AV streams for respective angle data of multi-angle motion picture data. As additional information for each clip AV stream, clip information is recorded on a separate storage area from that of the clip AV streams. The clip information includes jumping-point information for jumping into another angle. Each of the clip AV streams may be recorded in a contiguous recording area, or divided into smaller interleaved units that are interleaved with units of the other clip AV streams.
